CIGARJLIACHINE.

T0 all whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, TYBERG, a c1 t1 zen'of the United States, residing at Point Loma, county of San Diego, and State of California, have invented certain new'and useful Improvements in Cigar-Machines, fully described and represented inthe following specication andthe accompanying drawings, forming a part of vthe same.

v'Fig. 4: is a sectional plan View,

This invention relates to certain improvements in cigar machines.

- In the operation of making cigars by machinery, it is usual to form the bunches 1n bunclimaking machines and then place them in molds in which they are allowed to stand a greaten`- or less length .of time, thevmolds operating to shape the bunches. The bunches are then removed from the molds and the wrappers are applied in a wrapping machine. y applicable? to thecheaper gradessnot used in making high grade cigars for the reason, among others, that the trade objects to. what is known as mold work in high grade goods.

An attempt has been made to produce cigar machines in which 1 tion of making cigars isperformed by machinery, lthe bunch being first made by suitable mechanism and then transferred immediately to'a wrapping mechanism. For reasons not necessary to state here, the machine referred to has never gone into' commerciall use.

It is one of the objects of this invention to produce an improved ci ar machine in which the entire operation o making cigars shall be performed.

A further object of the invention is to improve the details ofv construction of cigar f machines.

With these and other objects in view, the F invention consists in certain parts, improvements and combinations which will be describedI and then specifically pointed out hereinafter.

In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a side elevation of a machine embodying the invention. 2 is a plan view of the construction illustrated in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is anend view of the construction shown in Fig. 1, the position of the observer being indicated bythe arrow 3 in that figure, certain parts of the mechanism being omitted. the' plane of section being indicated by the line of Specification of Letters Patent.

ln the particular machine selected to illustrate the invention, the filler having been cut to-suitable lengt-h and, when a perfecto cigar is to be formed, preferably having its edges notched in a manner well-known 1n the art, to permit the taper at the head and tuck of the cigar, is forwarded 1n a mass to suitable devices which operate to separate filler suitable for from the mass sections of f bunches. The iiller advancing devices, which may be varied considerably in construction, are located at the machine as shown in g. 1, and are supported in a pair of brackets marked 1, these brackets forming a Irzlt e brackets 1 serve'to support a trough-like table 2 on which-.the filler is placed by the operator 'and which serves as a source o long filler supply.A From this table filler, in the particular advanced into the range of action of means which operate to forward itso that 'it may feeding devices. This forwarding mechan'sm may be constructed in various ways. In' the particular construction shown, it includes a carrier which may be formed in any convenient manner, but which, as illustrated, consists ofpbelts 2 and 8). e These' belts, inthe articular construction shown, tabley l supported in thev brackets 1, and at their lower ends vpa around an idle roller 5 journaled on a shaft 6 lwhich is in turn supported in brackets 1. The belts, when belts are employed, may be driven in any suitable manner. As shown, the belts-at their upper ends pass arounda roller .7 secured to a shaftvS, the shaft being'mounted in suitable bearings in the bracketsll. The .shaft'S is provided with a gear wheel 9 which meshes 'withl a gear 10 mounted on a stud 11 secured to-one of the brackets. movement may any suitable manner, structions a step by step used for ythis purpose. ln the particular construction shown, the stud l11 carries a ratchet, wheel 12 which is lengaged by a pawl 13 mountedon an arm 11i, said pawl beingheld up to its duty by a spring 15. The arm 14 is connected to a hub 16 loosely7 mounted on the stud 11, extends a' slotted arm 17. To this slotted arm 17 issecured a connecting rod 18, the
